$Northwest Bancshares(NWBI)$ 2Q24 Report – Financial Instability with EPS at $0.04? NWBI reported its earnings for 2Q24 on July 23, and the share price increased by 4.5% immediately after. You may be asking what caused such a positive response from the public and in short, they beat the Earnings Per Share (EPS) estimate by 21.8% at 0.27.
